Notifced the 4wd/4cyl Escape in your profile. How is it? Decent off-road? I was looking for one of those before I found the Explorer - but always had sunroofs - which meant i didn't have enough head room. I still dig them...

Nope - not yet.

Back in an Explorer for the first time in a long time...and totally by coincidence, here's what happened... In Nov 2010, I bought a white 1998 Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC 4x4 with 135k miles - for $1800. In Nov 2020, I bought a white 2008 Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC 4x4 with 130k miles - for $4800...

I just sold my 1999 XLT with the SOHC, as reading the forums led me to believe I was driving a ticking (rattling) time bomb with the timing chain. Sold to a mechanic friend, who can do his own work. I want another Explorer, but can't decide what... I loved the 4x4 of the 1999 I had, and...

My local shop said he'd change the fluids for $150. Not sure if I'd need all these done or not...or if this is a good price for my 4wd Explorer? I told him "I'd be back" but it seems like a lot for just some fluids. Any thoughts?

Awesome... Thanks for the info!!
